Construction is achieved that is capable of maintaining overall strength of a cylindrical-shaped steering column, while at the same time making it possible to make the thickness part of the steering column thin. An outer column 10b, which is a column member of a steering column is formed by connecting in the axial direction a main portion 18 made using a light metal alloy with a cylindrical member 19 made of an iron-based alloy by a concave groove 20 that is formed around the outer circumferential surface of the front end section of the cylindrical member 19 engaging with a protrusion 21 that is formed around the inner circumferential surface of the rear end section of the main portion 18. A ring 22 made using a metallic material is fitted and fastened inside the inner diameter side of the cylindrical member 19 in the connecting section between the main portion 18 and the cylindrical member 19.
